Lots of rain at the North site

There are days we get 4″ before noon :-O

I never owned a rain gauge before moving here. Now I have to make sure I dump it every morning. Ames isn’t near as wet as Fort Dodge, etc. Of course these soils can handle it much better. That said, it rains every single solitary day. I sit on the porch every night and watch the storms blast thru, which is cool….

I know someone who was out at the Atlas launch site area on Monday and they said it was pretty green and the cacti still had their flowers. I would assume it is very similar at the North site.

You going to do your L3 at Oktoberfest, Justin? You need an extra shoulder to help you carry your bird out, I’ll be there. You’re like Troy Hummel, just a matter of making another flight and getting certified, which you both have done so well. Just paperwork for you guys. If anyone needs air-start advice or help, ask Justin. 😉

Troy has never personally flown a level three motor? Justin may fall into that category, but Troy?

Microsoft Streets and Trips says it is 76.9 miles and 1 hour and 9 minutes to Ames. The problem is that I am having trouble figuring out how to map the directions using a rowboat.
